Electrospun nanofibrous membranes filled with carbon nanotubes for redox enzyme immobilization
TLDR
In this article, the decomposition of H 2 O 2 by nanofibrous membrane-supported catalases is reported, where poly(acrylonitrile- co - N -vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PANCNVP) and polyacrylatitrile (PAN) blending with or without multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were electrospun into nanobrous membranes as enzyme immobilization matrixes and were carefully characterized.About:
